OREANDA-NEWS. October 06, 2010. New energy facilities were put into operation on Archabil Avenue in the rapidly developing business centre of the Turkmen capital. Foreign and Turkmen specialists build the complex including five power substations and high-voltage power transmission lines that will ensure reliable and uninterrupted power supply to the southern part of the Turkmen capital and infrastructural facilities for many years to come and lay the groundwork for the further development of this region of Ashgabat.

The festivities dedicated to putting new facilities into operation took place at the Nar substation nearby Archabil Avenue. A festive atmosphere reigned there from early morning, music and songs glorifying achievements of the epoch of new Revival and great changes were heard everywhere. Bright dance compositions adorned the festivities. The guests and participants to the ceremony were representatives of the Ashgabat Khyakimlik, departments, builders of new facilities and the elders.

New energy facilities are computer-aided and supplied with high-power transformer units, telemechanic and communication systems, computerized process control equipment and systems transferring data to the central control room. The substations Nar, Dagly and Gindivar built on Archabil Avenue will become the important nodes of the power supply system in this part of the city. The new substations will transform electric power from 110 to 35 and 6 kilovolt and it to facilities under construction in the southern part of the city and its new business centre where large-scale construction work has been launched.

Showcasing achievements of the epoch of new Revival and great changes, Ashgabat serves as a shining example of modern comfortable urban environment. Especially as because advanced technologies and practices of world’s leading manufacturers and high-quality reliable equipment used in the Turkmen capital are widely applied in other towns and villages throughout the country. Putting new energy facilities into operation lays the foundation for the further growth and development of the white-marble capital of the Turkmen state. Large-scale modernization of urban infrastructure is a new significant step to implement the fundamental principle of the epoch of new Revival “a state for the people” as well as use scientific and technological advances in the largest city of the country.

In the epoch of new Revival the large-scale projects for modernization and construction of gas-turbine power stations, new transmission lines, distribution substations and the power supply system of Ashgabat and other cities and settlements are successfully implemented in the power industry of the country. The Turkmen leader focuses on the need to implement large-scale projects through using advanced technologies and state-of-the-art reliable equipment and materials.

Nowadays, the Turkmen power industry demonstrates the steadily high paces of development and is able to enhance exports of electric power that is in great demand on world markets. Power stations and new transmission lines built in different regions of the country enable to increase electric power exports to neighbouring countries via the existing networks as well as along new energy routes.

To increase the effectiveness of power supply in Ashgabat is one of the important tasks set to Turkmen power engineers. It is planned to built a new ring of high-voltage transmission lines around Ashgabat, dozens of substations of different capacity, hundreds of distribution transformers, to lay several hundreds of kilometres of cable power transmission lines, to built power centres for street lighting, to replace distribution boards in all houses and to connect them to new cable power transmission lines. 
Through implementing this large-scale project which provides for construction of the energy facilities, which have been put into operation recently, the power supply system of the white-marble capital of our independent Motherland will be completely renewed.
